    The Sony SRS XB12 is a really nice speaker, packing a lot of sound into a space about the size of a small jar of jam. The XB12 is certainly portable and easy to carry. The included wrist strap is securely attached and the speaker is small and lightweight. The case is well formed, with no rough edges on the finish, and the power / charging / audio input panel hides behind a secure flap. Waterproof and dust proof, the XB-12 is built to stand up to outdoor use, be it the pool or sand. Battery life is outstanding. Sony claims up to 16 hours of battery life on a single charge. Based on my experience with this speaker and other recent Sony Bluetooth devices, that’s probably on the low end. Pairing is as simple as you would expect. But, the reason you want this speaker is the sound. While Sony touts it as “punchy” bass, in reality it is a very well-balanced sound. Highs are crisp, mids are clear, and the base is clean without overwhelming the mix. If you want stereo sound, two can be paired together. Sony has released a lot of excellent audio equipment over the past couple of years. The XB-12 carries on that tradition. Highly recommended.

    This was the only one at the store that the floor model sound button wasn't working on, so when I got it home and discovered the volume doesn't go very high, I was a bit disappointed. But the bluetooth set up is very easy, and it holds a very long charge. I only paid around $40, so I guess I got what I paid for.
